Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty
This procedure reshapes the nose using hyaluronic acid or permanent fillers to correct asymmetry, smooth bumps, or adjust tip angle. Ideal for patients seeking facial harmony without surgery, it requires no downtime and delivers immediate, natural results. The treatment lasts 2-10 years depending on product choice, with minimal discomfort and quick recovery.
Botox Injections
Botox temporarily reduces dynamic wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles, effectively smoothing forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines. Results appear within days and last 3-4 months. The treatment also addresses medical concerns like TMJ and migraines, offering both cosmetic and therapeutic benefits with minimal side effects.
Laser Treatments
Fractional lasers like Fraxel and CO2 resurface skin to improve texture, reduce pigmentation, and stimulate collagen production. Treatments address acne scars, sun damage, and fine lines, with recovery times ranging from 1-7 days. Multiple sessions may be required for optimal results, revealing brighter, more even-toned skin.
Dermal Fillers
Hyaluronic acid and collagen-stimulating fillers restore volume to cheeks, lips, and under-eye areas while softening facial creases. Results are immediate and last 6 months to 2 years depending on product. The treatment enhances natural contours with subtle, youthful plumpness, tailored to individual facial anatomy.
Kybella
Kybella injections dissolve submental fat to create a defined jawline without surgery. Multiple sessions may be needed for desired contouring, with permanent results as fat cells are destroyed. The treatment addresses 'double chin' concerns in adults, offering a non-invasive alternative to liposuction.
Questions
What non-surgical options exist for nose reshaping?
Non-surgical rhinoplasty uses fillers like Voluma or Bellafill to correct asymmetry, smooth bumps, or adjust tip angle without surgery. The 30-minute procedure offers immediate, natural results lasting 2-10 years.
Am I a good candidate for Botox?
Ideal candidates have dynamic wrinkles from facial movements and seek temporary smoothing. Botox also treats TMJ and migraines. A consultation determines suitability based on medical history and aesthetic goals.
How do laser treatments improve skin?
Fractional lasers resurface skin to reduce pigmentation, acne scars, and fine lines while stimulating collagen. Treatments address sun damage and texture irregularities, revealing brighter, tighter skin with minimal downtime.
What's the recovery time for Kybella?
Kybella requires no downtime, though swelling and tenderness may occur for 1-2 weeks. Most patients see final results after 2-4 sessions spaced 6 weeks apart, with destroyed fat cells preventing future accumulation.
Are fillers safe for facial rejuvenation?
FDA-approved hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxylapatite fillers are safe for most adults when administered by trained professionals. They temporarily restore volume and smooth lines with low risk of adverse reactions when used correctly.

Six years ago I saw Dr. Rivkin for filler injections under my eyes. I had minimal bruising and my eyes looked great after. The bad news is I saw him again for filler a few days ago. I waited for an hour, and there was no reason given, or an apology. A "sorry you had to wait" would have been ok). Later that day I had a large very red bruise under my right eye, and small red bruises at several injection sites.
The masks for Covid have come in handy. The good news is I left a message re: the bruises and requested an appointment for today, Monday (first appointment was on a Friday). I received a text to come in this morning and received laser treatments on the bruises. I was told if I needed more laser to come back. I may have just had an "off" day, or maybe Mercury was in retrograde;), but I'll be happy to see the results once the bruising goes away!

Hella happy with my results! I got rhinoplasty a couple of years ago and I was not happy with my results. I'm glad I did my research and found Dr. Rivkin because he understood my concerns. I'm so grateful for the option of non surgical rhinoplasty!

Dr Rivkin, and his staff are all made up of the nicest, caring, and knowledgeable people that I know. I have been a patient of Rivkin for over a decade for a terrible case of TMJ, that drives me up the wall. I had been suffering from excruciating headaches from grinding. He was able to provide me pain relief Everyone is very friendly that works there. From the moment you walk in you are greeted with smiles and they all make you feel very special.

Absolutely the best team of professionals! Everyone is so courteous and happy. I'm always treated so kindly. Dr Rivkin has been taking care of me for over 15 years and he and his colleagues are exceptional at what they do! If I could give a sixth star it would be well warranted.

It was a pleasure to consult with Dr. Rivkin. He is extremely knowledgeable regarding the bewildering array of lasers, fillers, and injectibles available. I appreciate that he is candid about what can and can't be done with them. He suggested a balanced plan of Botox, fillers, and micro needling with radio frequency for natural yet impactful aesthetic improvement. He does not oversell. He has a very warm and honest demeanor. I trust his judgement, knowledge, and expertise. Highly recommend this practice!

I have never had anything but great experiences here. The professionals doing procedures here are amazing at their craft and I trust them implicitly. My treatments have been with Nurse Natalie and she in my opinion is hands down amazing. The care I receive here is genuine. All the women of the Rivkin Westside Aesthetics team rule. Not one aspect from booking, check-in, treatments to the payment and good byes lack in anything. Cannot say enough about this gem in LA.
Much gratitude and appreciation to them all! If you are considering treatment of any kind, in my humble opinion and my experiences there (spanning many years) you are in capable, gentle and artistic hands.

Thank you so much to Dr Rivkin! I came in today for a non surgical nose job and he did an absolutely amazing job! He listened to what I wanted to change and archived it perfectly. I am going to wait how it's going to go for the next couple of weeks. I have my follow up appointment scheduled for next month. But so far so good, I am so glad I decided to come here and his assistant was also really nice and caring.
She answered all of my questions and gave me a little back with explanation to go home with in case I have bruises. I thought it was so thoughtful of them. I will definitely go back for other things I want to get done. I definitely recommend Dr Rivkin, he is amazing!

Dr Rivkin is a true artist! He is extremely skilled at what he does and will treat you as a whole individual and take time to not only evaluate the treatment area, but how it effects your whole face. So many dr's will rush you through, but not Dr Rivkin, he wants to get it right and have you loving your outcome! I needed some correction in a spot that was very visible and bothersome, but he did more than that, and I love all of his suggestions.
The outcome is more than I'd had hoped for, I'm beyond thrilled! The other thing I like is that he gets right to it, and injects with precision of a skilled artist and the quickness of a Pro! I had total confidence in his ability and my outcome. The staff is also very welcoming and friendly. Dr Rivkin is a rare Gem!

This place is AMAZING! Dr. Rivkin and his team are miracle workers! Ginelle is the queen is Botox and Dr. Rivkin is a face architect extraordinaire. Seriously, sooooooo worth it! From the second you walk in the door, his entire front desk and nursing team are incredible- Gina, Jessica, literally everyone is so nice and accommodating. The office itself is beautiful and they make you feel very taken care of. I am so thankful to them for helping me to age gracefully. :

I saw Dr. Rivkin in December for a non Surgical nose job and it was a wonderful experience. It balanced my profile and helped fix my dorsal hump without changing my face. Then I came back to do a facial with Jennifer and my skin feels amazing. This is the only place I will go for touch ups and skin care.
